Panauan Civil War

The Panauan Civil War occurred in 2010 when several rebel groups such as the Roaches, Reapers, and Ular Boys rose in rebellion against Pandak Panay's Panauan dictatorship with the assistance of major regional powers such as the United States, Russia, China, and Japan, who all sent troops to the island to secure the vital oil fields for their own gain. The conflict saw Panay attempt to fire nuclear missiles at the intervening countries, but the missiles were all disabled by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agent Rico Rodriguez before they could leave Panauan airspace, and the civil war resulted in the death of Panay and the destruction of the country's oil fields by the nuclear missiles. The destruction of the oil led to the foreign powers falling back, as they no longer had any interests in the country; a US-friendly government was installed in the place of Panay.

Background
The Panay family ruled over Panau with an iron fist since the 1980s, when the United States installed the businessman Papa Panay as the dictator of the island nation. The Soviet Union- and China-backed communist and socialist rebels were crushed and political repression took place, and the government adopted a style of neo-fascism that led to militarization and nationalism. In 2009, Panay's son Pandak Panay had him assassinated in a car bombing, seizing power and becoming the new dictator of Panau. After this coup, the weary people of Panau decided to rise up against the government, with the communist Roaches, criminal Reapers, and nationalist Ular Boys going into all-out rebellion against Panay's government. The result was international interest in the country, as big countries such as the United States and China felt that they had an opportunity to support the rebels in exchange for control over the oil fields after their victory. The USA sent the Central Intelligence Agency to the island to assist the rebels and overthrow the government, with agent Tom Sheldon going into hiding and contacting agent Rico Rodriguez under the nickname "Sloth Demon" (an anagram of his name). With boots on the ground, the CIA was able to assist the uprising against the government of Panay.
